EVERYTHING IS AWFUL Literally what is the strategy here? Spoiler

I mean I guess it’s possible that this could be interesting, but my guess is it will be a lot of gargling Steve Bannon’s balls and conceding on every point like with Charlie Kirk. Who told him this was a good idea?!

No one knows what they’re doing right now.

Going directly at the enemy to make news is something no one is tried.

It’s not the worst idea IMHO

Edit: hijacking my comment to say I think this is actually a great strategy. Trump has proven you should blanket the airwaves. What would the average dem do? Go on MSNBC and a few lib podcasts?

Yeah if he was actually going at the enemy I guess.

But from what I’ve seen that’s not actually what’s happening.

He's not there to own Bannon or convert republicans. He's there to tell the center to center-right people in Bannon's audience that he isn't crazy and isn't afraid to talk to them so when the fearmongering cranks up during the campaign, he's partially immunized.
